Be the Voice of the Workforce (Win an iPad Pro)

How do you feel about your job and the sector you work in? How has the sector changed over the past 12 months? And what outlook do you have on the future of your job and industry?

Matchtech is conducting an in-depth piece of research on how people within engineering feel about the industry based on important topics such as career progression, pay and skill shortages. The survey responses will be used to inform an insightful report which will be shared with media and key decision makers within the industry.

This report will represent a snapshot in time of how engineers in 2016 feel about the industry and will provide comprehensive data for years to come.

Thousands of engineers contributed to Matchtech’s research in 2014, providing a subjective viewpoint of the UK engineering industry and job prospects and expectations within it. More than half (56%) of engineers questioned said they were confident the UK would continue to be a leader within global engineering, with two fifths (40%) of the engineers questioned believing the engineering sector had a better reputation and was held in higher esteem in the UK than it was in the previous year. Matchtech is interested to know if these opinions still stand and how different factors have influenced confidence within the industry over time.
